Bowing to pressure from Wal-Mart Associates and WakeUpWalMart.com, Wal-Mart has made some changes to its anti-worker, anti-family attendance policy, which was implemented in October.
From the Associated Press:
Wal-Mart Stores Inc. has softened its stance on its attendance policy only weeks after the nation's largest private employer implemented changes that made hourly workers more accountable for excessive unexcused absences...Dana Rezaie, a Wal-Mart worker who was on the WakeUpWalMart.com conference call said she was "disgusted" with the new attendance policy. Still, while the latest steps to improve the policy were "small," it shows that "we can make changes that will make us all happy."

Associates demand that Wal-Mart reverse the many recent anti-worker, anti-family policies and will be holding a second national Associates' conference call next Wednesday, November 22nd.
